TREATMENT SPECIALTIES
Pain Management
Impulse Disorders
Anxiety
Self-esteem
Working through difficult emotions is a key factor in you living your best life, but sometimes fear and anxiety keeps us from accessing and processing these feelings. I can teach you not only to challenge uncomfortable emotions but to work through those deeper feelings that may get in the way of your success.
During my time as a college swimmer, I learned to practice controlled breathing to increase my speed and focus. Now I use breath control to achieve success in everyday living. Early in my career, I was taught to work with horses as a way to increase emotional awareness. I’ve combined my lifelong passion of fly-fishing with breathing techniques and emotional awareness to facilitate therapy sessions aimed at helping people work through various emotional pain.
I have a transtheoretical orientation and have found components of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths recognition instrumental in treating my clients’ needs.
LICENSE, EDUCATION, and EXPERIENCE
I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Denver, became a Master of Social Work at the University of Houston, and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#52783). I have worked as a licensed therapist in several partial hospitalization programs around the Houston area, serving adults with substance abuse, dual diagnosis, and other persistent mental illness.
It's hard to see your child suffering and feel powerless to help. Your child may struggle with anxiety, behavior, self-esteem, academics, or fitting in with peers. Maybe your child is recovering from a trauma, parental divorce, or death in the family. We have trained professionals here to help.
Types of Counseling
What will my first therapy session be like?
After looking over your paperwork and informing you about confidentiality, you and your counselor will discuss your concerns, symptoms, personal history, and treatment goals. Your counselor will decide if they are the best clinician to meet your needs, and you will decide if your counselor is a comfortable fit.
